Globe: Senior WH staffer shopping tell-all book: Chimpy's drinking binges, etc.
Edited on Wed Dec-06-06 11:17 AM by npincus



Yes, yes, the Globe is a dubious source.... but then, where else would one find this type of story? The NYT?

The (cover) story says that a senior level WH staffer has been shopping a book to publishing houses... a "deep throat" type of source. Acording to the article, Pres. B*sh has "been told the book will expose the full extent of his drinking binges in the Oval Office, the dirty details of his tattered marriage to Laura, and his secret meetings with a woman linked to the rumors that his Dad cheated on his mom Barbara".

The article contends that info in the book exposes how Laura and he have been living seperate lives, she's spent a great deal of time out of the WH, more than has been publicly disclosed... and "whispers of drunkeness at the worst possible moments"... "whoever is writing this book knows what really is going on between the president and Condi".

The book "will supposedly" expose the president's stormy relationship with his father... things are "not great" between them... B*sh is obssessed about George Sr.'s "alleged" affair with Jennifer Fitzgerald (photo included)...

OK, this is GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP, from a tabloid, but the thought of a tell-all book to further diminish the legacy of the tyrant who brought this country down, unleashed civil war in Iraq and possibly a wider conflagration which we will all be sucked into... well, I think that's just fine.

If it's true, who could the "insider" be?

3. sorry, Globe magazine site
does not have content, only subscription link- FYI: http://www.globemagazine.com/

OK, i admit it.. I was reading it at the supermarket check-out counter, and when I read that a "tell-all book" was invloved, I bought the damned thing! It's the December 11, 2006 issue.

5. Where was this?
According to their Web site, the stories in this week's issue are:

• HILLARY ATTACKS BILL'S SECRET LOVER...HE FORCES HILLARY INTO SEX THERAPY
• JACKO WAS FRAMED!
• BRAD & ANGELINA MOVING IN TOGETHER
• KENNY CHESNEY'S OTHER WOMAN-REVEALED!

http://www.globemagazine.com/

They have a link to submit tips--we could do interesting things with that.

I bought this at the A&P supermarket yesterday. I couldn't help myslef, when I saw it involved a tell-all book being shopped around.

The issue is dated "December 11, 2006". I can't speak for their web site content!

11. Would Not Surprise If Pickles Divorced Bush As Soon As He Leaves Office...
... some of the rumors can be supported by factual reports. Pickles has definitely been spending time away from 'George.' ......

My guess is a member of the Secret Service Detail at the WH may be writing through another individual, if in fact there is any such 'tell all' book in the offing.

I do believe there are 'insiders' at the WH that have taped or documented Bush either for protection or to write a 'tell all' for profit once the Bush Administration is gone.

12. "Rumors" about his dad? Those were pretty well established
Her name is Jennifer Fitzgerald, and she was not a hottie by any stretch--she looked a bit like Barbara Bush with a bad blonde dye job.



What she had going for her, apparently, is that she was Poppy's 'type' and she, in contrast to Babs, fawned over ole Poppy instead of cutting him down....supposedly Linda "Morality Policewoman" Tripp was the one who spilled the beans on that relationship to the media when she was working in the East Wing!

31. That could well be it....maybe they get Monkeyboy to have the Secret Service
take pictures of her with her botched facelift, and point-n-laugh....who knows? She sure made life a bit problematic for both of them, but the effect she had on Clinton was to the zillionth magnitude, compared to the impact on Poppy.

Jennifer Fitzgerald...a trip down memory lane! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Fitzgerald

36. Hell, if I were married to Barbara "Quaker Oats Man" Bush...
even actor Jack Elam would look pretty hot to me. Can you really blame Poppy for having an affair?

23. There is obviously some dysfunction in dubya's white house.
None of the claims listed are all that shocking and given the man we're talking about it's all too believable.

22. It would be kind of awesome to have Jr morally shamed after
being seen as such a saint by his followers (esp. compared to Clinton).

35. It sure would! ...what was he saying at his first inauguration?
...something about restoring 'honor and dignity' to the White House? :puke:
blech!

Yes, those 'followers' are the ones who need to open their eyes and clearly see the damage done and the crimes committed by their beloved bush.

24. We saw that on our grocery store foray yesterday .......
We had a good laugh about it and I said aloudto Sparkly something pretty snarky about "President Dumbass" The cashier and the other people in the line got a good laugh out of that.

25. The Globe is the same mag that "broke" the story on Clinton's black love child
but the RW ran with it. The tabloid headlines have a subliminal effect on American public. For the next week, everytime someone goes to the grocery store or the convenience store (to get gas, coffee or a soda) they will see that headline.

34. Yup -- JF was a VERY personal assistant
She's definitely mentioned in Kitty Kelley's lawsuit-proofed tell all book "The Family".

Quote: Caption on pic of JF in book:
"Jennifer Fitzgerald at the White House on November 30, 1974, before leaving for China to become George Bush's close personal aide. Known as "the other woman" in Bush's life, Fitzgerald was his personal assistant for fourteen years."

Index: Fitzgerald, Jennifer, 138, 327-28, 329, 341-42, 345, 351, 353-54, 375-77, 390-91, 434-36, 479, 523-28.

LOTS of info about her in the book. You can get it now for cheap.

37. He never stopped drinking and he has a vicious mean temper...
And it is all going to get much worse, Bush's
narcissism is getting a major hit.

Poor Pickles, life has not been much fun I bet,
but she may be on the receiving end of even more of
Jr's rage.

Poppy probably has paid her off to stay for two more years.
